Han Village.
An off-road vehicle drove slowly. It couldn't be helped as it was time to get off work. Even a racer wouldn't be able to drive fast.
"We just passed by the Han Village market. There are many places selling food and there's even one selling roast chicken. Not bad, it's quite lively." Li Hui swallowed his saliva.
"Zhao Ming, guess what Li Hui said was the main point," Han Bin said with a smile.
"Haha, of course. Why don't I get off the car and buy five roast chickens? We can each have one," Zhao Ming suggested.
"If you want to eat roast chicken, sure. But wait until after we catch them and go back." Zeng Ping's words ended the conversation.
Han Bin and Zhao Ming laughed and didn't say anything else.
Li Hui didn't refute. Alright, he was indeed hungry.
The car drove for a while. When they passed by a gas station, Li Hui stopped the car by the side of the road. There was a man in a police uniform standing not far away.
The house numbers in the urban village were messy. If one didn't know the area well, it would be difficult to find the exact location with just a rough address. Zeng Ping called the Han Village police station and asked a police officer who was familiar with the area to lead the way.
Ceng Ping, Han Bin, and the others got out of the car, introduced themselves, and confirmed each other's identities.
The police officer was called Yang Hongyi. He was in his thirties and had been in the Han Village police station for a few years. He was familiar with the local situation.
Zeng Ping took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to Yang Hongyi. "Do you know where Zhou Tianrong's house is?"
Yang Hongyi took the cigarette and lit it for Zeng Ping. "Captain Zeng, just tell me the house number and I'll know where it is. I remember this kid."
"He has a criminal record?"
"Zhou Tianrong is a gangster. He doesn't commit major crimes but small ones. He's a regular at the police station," Yang Hongyi said.
"Have you seen him recently?"
"Not really."
Under Yang Hongyi's lead, Han Bin and the others successfully found Zhou Tianrong's house.
The houses in the urban village were divided into three categories. The first category was relatively dilapidated and there was no money to build a new building. The second category was to build as high as they could. As long as the procedures were approved, they would borrow money to build a tall building. The third category was to build a small building with two or three floors and a spacious yard.
The first was that their families were poor and couldn't afford it even if they wanted to.
The second type were those whose families had some spare money but were not particularly wealthy. They wanted to build a few more floors and houses, and then rent the houses to people who worked in the city.
There were seven to eight rooms on each floor. Depending on the size and lighting, the rent was a few hundred to a thousand yuan. Building four to five floors and living on one floor, they didn't have to do anything for a year. Just the rent alone would be two to three hundred thousand yuan. It was quite a comfortable life.
The third type was those who were really rich. They wanted to build a small villa. The house didn't need to be too big. They just wanted the courtyard to be as big as possible so that it was comfortable and comfortable.
Zhou Tianrong's house belonged to the first category. The bricks on the wall were weathered and crumbled. It must have been built for at least twenty or thirty years.
The color of the couplets on both sides of the door had faded so much that they were almost black and white. They probably hadn't been changed for two or three years.
Fortunately, the door was not locked from the outside.
Knock, knock. Yang Hongyi knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
"Checking the temporary residence permit."
"Hey, why are you here again? How many times have I told you that I don't have a house to rent?" A woman complained.
Creak … The door opened. A woman in her fifties stood at the door. She glanced at Yang Hongyi and then at Han Bin and the others.
"Do you need so many people to check the temporary residence permit?"
"Is Zhou Tianrong home?" Yang Hongyi asked.
"Zhou Tianrong is the head of the household. He doesn't need a temporary residence permit. You can go to another house." The woman said and was about to close the door.
"Auntie, please wait a moment. I have something to ask you." Zeng Ping squeezed out a smile.
The woman frowned and stared at Zeng Ping. "How old are you to call me auntie?"
"I …" Zeng Ping was confused. Is this important?
I'm a policeman. I'm here to arrest someone.
Han Bin showed his police badge and asked, "Auntie, what's your name?"
The woman looked at Han Bin. "Zhou Lixia."
"What's your relationship with Zhou Tianrong?"
"Are you here to check my temporary residence permit?" Zhou Lixia asked.
"We're here to visit and understand the situation."
"I'm Zhou Tianrong's mother. This is my home. If you want to check the temporary residence permit, you'd better go to another house." Zhou Lixia pointed at the building in front of them.
"This house is almost built to the moon. It's the neighbor of Jade Rabbit. It has the most tenants. There are all kinds of people."
"The local police station will verify the situation. We're here to see Zhou Tianrong. Is he home?" Han Bin asked.
"Heh."
Zhou Lixia snorted and put on a fake smile. "Oh, that's great. I'm also looking for him. If you find him, remember to tell me."
"You just said that Zhou Tianrong is the owner of this house?" Han Bin changed the topic.
"What's wrong?"
Han Bin showed her the search warrant. "This is the search warrant for Zhou Tianrong. Since he's the owner of this house, please cooperate with us."
"What did he do this time?" Zhou Lixia frowned.
"It's not convenient to disclose during the investigation," Zeng Ping interrupted and led the others into the yard.
"Hey, don't go rummage around," Zhou Lixia shouted.
Han Bin didn't go in to search but asked Zhou Lixia, "Auntie, have you contacted Zhou Tianrong recently?"
"No."
"Is 1383XXXXX his phone number?" Han Bin asked.
"I'm using this phone number," Zhou Lixia said.
"You're using it?"
"Yes, he gave it to me."
Han Bin frowned. He took out his phone and dialed the number.
Ring ring ring …
A cell phone rang, and Zhou Lixia snorted. "You look handsome, but you're quite cunning."
"Auntie, you've misunderstood me. Your son is involved in a case now. I just want to get to the bottom of it as soon as possible and prove his innocence," Han Bin explained.
"I thank you on his behalf," Zhou Lixia said lightly.
"Is Zhou Tianrong married?"
"I wish. If he's married, he'll have someone to look after him." Zhou Lixia sighed.
"Does he have a girlfriend?"
"He won't tell me even if he does. I won't let him bring those shady women home," Zhou Lixia snorted.
"Does he have any other place to live besides this house?"
"I don't know."
"Does he have a motorcycle?"
"I've never seen him ride one."
Han Bin asked for a long time but didn't get any useful information. He took out a business card and handed it to Zhou Lixia. "This is my business card. When your son comes back, let me know. I really want to help him."
"Well, I'd rather he go to jail than to let him mess around outside." Zhou Lixia had a look of exasperation that she expected better from him.
When Han Bin wanted to ask more questions, he was interrupted by Zhou Lixia.
"Don't ask. I don't know anything." Zhou Lixia waved her hand and shouted impatiently.
"Are you done searching? If you're done, hurry up and leave. Don't delay my meal. "
Under Zhou Lixia's driving, Zeng Ping and the others walked out gloomily.
"Captain Zeng, did you find anything?" Han Bin asked.
Zeng Ping shook his head. "Zhou Tianrong hasn't been back recently."
"Captain Zeng, do you believe Zhou Lixia's words?" Yang Hongyi asked.
"Only one person cooked; although there are two toothbrushing cups, only one is often used, and the other one is dusty. There are no cigarettes, no tea, no alcohol, and no internet. The possibility of Zhou Tianrong living here is very small." Zeng Ping analyzed.
"Tsk tsk, amazing. As expected of a criminal police officer." Yang Hongyi raised his thumb and praised.
"But this doesn't mean that she has no contact with Zhou Tianrong." Li Hui said.
"It's a pity that the telecommunications company is off duty. Otherwise, we can locate Zhou Tianrong's mobile phone number and know where he is." Tian Li sighed.
"The mobile phone number we found is not used by Zhou Tianrong, but by his mother, Zhou Lixia." Han Bin explained.
"Really?" Zhao Ming just went to search the house and didn't hear the conversation between Han Bin and Zhou Lixia.
"I called that mobile phone number. It's used by Zhou Lixia."
"If that's the case, isn't there no clue to Zhou Tianrong?" Tian Li spread her hands.
Han Bin thought for a moment and shook his head. "Not necessarily."
